Novice Network has become unfriendly.

[Awha]

Expectation of NN are already at an all time low.
The mentor discussion is only tangibly related at best.

Would say it is not low enough. NN for many is simply a general chat, and like any general chat mileage will vary depending on many factors. I do not know for me any discussion around NN probably should include mentors. The whole system is flawed, and I do feel players would better off just using it as a general chat and view the crown as simple icon flare nothing more nothing less.

The tome of google is often far more helpful.
